A Mosquito Book
The last time I went to the city library, I found a copy of Mosquitoes of the Southeast. http://www.uapress.ua.edu/product/Mosquitoes-of-the-Southeastern-United-States,7164.aspx
I looked through the book and it seemed easy to use because the keys are illustrated, which helps with confusing technical language. I thought, I could borrow this book when the mosquitoes come back and try identifying some. I read online about mosquito sampling methods and the preferred one is to use yourself or a volunteer as human bait, which I'm not willing to do. My body likes to overreact to bug bites. I decided that I'll get a mosquito trap, hang it up overnight, and identify them the next morning.
